p.3 #1 · New Nikons Released (D300, D3, Five Lenses)
There are PDFs now available on the us site. Here's something that SOMEONE will complain about - flash sync on the d3 is still 1/250.
I also saw the prices on the new VR lenses.. the 600mm VRII is $9,500US Oh, time to sell the car and buy a lens. The 400mm is $8,800 and the 500mm is $7,900.
What we need to see is someone reputable reviewing some of this stuff. Poor Mr. Hogan, he's going to get a LOT of email

Like the rest of you, I'm in awe. The D300 is and has absolutely everything I could have hoped for, and then some, and then some more, and then I lose track.
For fast-moving aircraft at airshows, I need more than the D200 can give me (despite how wonderful the D200 is!). My only question now, is where on Earth do I buy one, right bloody now?
Please, someone... please point me to a reputable camera store with a preorder list! I beg of you...

Impressive. Most impressive. As long as it delivers properly, I think a lot of photographers will be very happy.
I mean this is a HUGE shot across the bow... A smackdown as it were.
I think they hope to amortize the cost of the new AF and LCD by spreading it across the two cameras and it's obvious that they'll sell boatloads of the D300. As an added bonus, since the parts are the same, they can cut manufacturing costs by not having to support two different types of parts... Nice, very nice.

I can say first hand Nikon has nailed the noise control problem. Shot several 6400 this afternoon with the D3. Looked like the D2xs at 1600 maybe 800 I might be jumping the gun as these were all LCD images nothing on computer, but wow it was nice. Then new 24-70mm is a nice lens. And FF was like a breath of fresh air.

Well I am impressed. It's so good to have some good news for a change, even if you're not going to be able to get your hands on them for a few months!
I'm severely tempted to just say to hell with the money and get a D3. Man that thing looks awesome! Far more kit than I can really justify, but oh my what a camera. Can't wait to put my FF 12-24 on there, mmmmmmm.........

Man I want one of those D3's... Why is it everytime I purchase something new, a better motel comes out? For example, I bought my D200 about 3 months ago. Now the D300 comes out...

buy a D300 a soon as you can get one. i bet it will last a while before the D400 comes.
My D2x is old and worn.. so i need to upgrade...

One thing that's a little odd, anyone notice the AF position layout on this page: http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond3/page4.asp There are none near the edge of the frame :\
Welcome to FF-world, guys!
